WILLIAM DIETER, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, AND HARTVIG ORUM, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS; SAID ORUM ASSIGNOR OF HIS RIGHT TO IRVING A. OHARA, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,857, dated une 10, 1902.

' Application filed February 20, 1901. Serial No. 18,178. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM DIETER, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, and'HARTvIeJ ORUM, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and'State ofIllinois, citizens of the United States, have invented a certain: new and .useful Motor for Automobiles, Cycles, Boats, -and for all:Pur-

poses Where aFlexible and Economical Power is Required, of whichthe following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in motors; and the. object of saidinventionisf to produce a flexible and economical. motive lows:

1 is a steam-cy1inder provided with circular flanges.

2 is a combustion-cylinderfor an explosivegas mixture. This cylinder is alsoprovided with circular flanges. Frame 3 connects with cylinders and includes the crank-shaft bearings.

4 and 5 are cylinder-jackets.

6 is steam-cylinder piston.

7 is the combustion-cylinder plunger.

8 9 14: are respectively the connecting-rods, cranks, and crank-shaft.

10 is a piston-rod connecting piston 6 to plunger 7.

11 is a stufting box between cylinders 1 and 2.

12 is a steam-jacket between cylinders 1 and 2.

15 represents a driving-wheel on shaft 14.

16 indicates the eccentrics for operating steam-valves 19 and connects to links 17.

18 is the valve-rod guide.

20 is the camshaft, which operates the combustion-cylinder exhaust-valve and to which is connected 2. spark-timer of ordinary construction. This spark-timer is not illustrated.

21 designates the steam-inlet pipe, connect: ed to the steam-valve chest.

through the cylinders and The component parts are indicated as fol-:

22 and 23 are steam-exhaust pipes connected with the steam;exhaust and cooling-jacket of the cylindersl and 2, as seen in Fig. 1, and

25 and 26 representIexhaust-gas pipes.

2-tindicates the. inlet forthe gas mixture. 27 "is the combustion-cylinder inlet-valve,

.and 28 is the exhaust-valve.

' 29.is' the-electric-ispark plug, and 30 the steam-chest forlcylinders 1.

Such being the construction, the operation is asganows; Steam being admitted into the steam-cylinders through inlet-pipe 21 starts the motor. The speed can be varied at will .by shifting the links, and the motion can be reversed by the same mechanism. Using the steam alone, the combustion-cylinders 2 and plungers 7 act as guides and cross-heads. Having started the motor, the explosive mixture can be admitted through inlets 24 into cylinders 2 and there compressed by plungers 7 and exploded byelectric-spark plugs 29.

:Now, if desired, steam can be shut OE, and

the motor will continue to run by the explosions taking place in the' combustion-cylinders. It is clearthat steam or an explosive mixture, independently or combined, will run the motor. The steam-exhaust is conducted through pipe 22 into the space between jackets 5 and cylinders 2, cooling cylinders 2 and heating the exhaust,and when finally expelled through pipe 23 becomes less visible. The flanges on cylinders 2 muffle the steam and make an almost-noiseless exhaust. The hot gases are exhausted from cylinders 2 and conducted through pipe 25 into the space between jackets 4: and cylinders 1, heating cylinders 1 and exhausting through outlet 26. The flanges on cylinders 1 muffle the gases and make the exhaust almost noiseless. Steam being admitted through a port (not shown in drawings) from the steam-chest 30 into jacket 12 reduces the temperature of the explosioncylinder head.

There are numerous ways of: constructing the cylinders of said motors, a piston movable names to this specification in the presence of in the cylinder of the steam-motor, a plunger two subscribing witnesses. movable in the combustion-chamber of the explosive-motor, and a piston-rod carrying said piston and plunger and movable through said steam-jacket, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof we have signed our WM. DIETER. HARTVIG ORUM.
